The Committee to Protect Journalists appealed Wednesday to the Mexican government to do all it can to bring about the release of four journalists abducted Monday.
"We urge state and federal authorities to do everything in their power to locate the four missing journalists and bring them to safety," said Carlos Lauria, CPJ's Americas senior program coordinator. "Mexican journalists are paying a terrible price for their work, and authorities must send a clear message that this brutal action will not go unpunished."
The four were abducted as they were investigating accusations of corruption against the director of a detention center in Durango.
